My favorite lawyer! Adam is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, savvy and competent about all things…read morereal estate! For a business matter in the Bronx, Adam helped us. He expedited everything and kept everyone on the same page throughout. Adam - I don't know if you read these, but thank you so, so, SO much!!!! We would not have closed without you!!!

My experience with Adam started positively. However, when I requested service of process status on…read morea recent filing, Adam, at first, informed me that he has "no clue" about whether counter-party received documents. When I followed up the following week he asserted that he is "not the process server." Within the span of ~1.5 weeks, I was twice given unhelpful and disrespectful replies. After reminding Adam that the process server is acting as his agent, I suggested he comport himself better or send me my case file. Adam did neither: (1.) He refused to send me my case file (seemingly, violating Rule 1.16(e) of his professional conduct rules). (2.) He threatened to stop process service on counter-party.

As a professional psychologist with more than 30 years of experience in NYC I have worked closely with many matrimonial lawyers. He is among the best I have worked with. He's warm, engaging and very personable and, in a position where his objectivity between warring parents (and their children) is demanded, manages to navigate this very slippery slope with a great deal of finesse. Finally, most people don't understand the significance of the term "court appointed". That means that your professionalism and objectivity are highly regarded by some of the most experienced Judges in NY, because their reputations depend on it! And that is saying a lot.

I couldn't be more grateful for the amazing support and professionalism I received from Anthony at…read moreBeninato & Matrafajlo Law. From the very beginning, Anthony took the time to truly understand my case, explain every step clearly, and make me feel confident throughout the entire court process. Their expertise, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. What really stood out was how responsive and attentive he was -- always quick to return calls, answer questions, and provide honest, straightforward guidance. Thanks to their hard work and experience, the outcome was better than I could have hoped for. His rate was very fair for the work that was provided. If you're looking for an attorney who truly fights for you and treats you with respect and compassion, I highly recommend Anthony at Beninato & Matrafajlo Law. Definitely a five-star experience!

Albert Cernadas, made me feel Very Uncomfortable. asked me very explicit inappropriate questions…read moreregarding his own sexual preferences/ taste and rather than professional questions pertaining to my case. Albert Cernadas is super creepy and unprofessional. He honestly sounded like was masturbating to my voice on the other end of the phone line. Furthermore he's extremely unorganized claim he doesn't receive emails (even with time stamp confirmation of delivery). Fails to return phone calls, claims he's going to follow up at certain times & then fails to do so. Albert Cernadas has to be debriefed every single phone call and claims he "doesn't remember your case". I will be filling formal complaint regarding sexually inappropriate questions and statements. His questions portrayed racial bias, derogatory inclinations, condescending character and gender discrimination.

Chris is a dedicated legal professional that strives for excellence and has helped me with my case every step of the way. His communication is superb, and all of my concerns have been addressed almost instantly, as he really helped guide my wife and I through a particularly rough situation. Chris takes things a step further, and really boils complex legal issues down for the layperson, which has taken so much of the "mysticism" out of the legal process for us. I'm extremely pleased with his services, and would recommend to him to anyone (except my enemies :) )

Seth D. Schraier was assigned to represent me on or about 2024 in a New York Family Court child…read moresupport violation matter. Throughout the representation, communication was inconsistent. Calls I was asked to make went unanswered or were not returned, and requests for updates often went unresolved. Despite being counsel of record, I was repeatedly asked what actions I wanted taken, rather than being provided with clear legal strategy and proactive guidance. I also had a confidential address on file. Seth stated he would redact my medical records before submission to the court and did not do so, which resulted to serious purge demand being $10,000 or "bringing my toothbrush" to my next court appearance. After the Support Magistrate issued a willfulness finding, I asked counsel to object and submit properly redacted medical documentation. That was not done as requested. At a later appearance, counsel stated on the record that certified medical records had been subpoenaed, but this did not occur when initially requested. These delays and omissions contributed to adverse outcomes in my case. Clients deserve timely communication, clear legal direction, and follow through. My experience fell short of that standard.

WARNING: Incompetence, Dishonesty & Abandoned Contract - DO NOT TRUST THIS LAWYER…read more BOTTOM LINE: I hired Schraier to revise a support agreement, but he abandoned the contract despite being fully paid and lied for months about finalizing it. His incompetence has caused lasting harm to my child and resulted in major financial losses. ________________________________________ UPDATE: Years later, his lies and negligence still haunt my case. He repeatedly promised the agreement was coming "next week" or "Monday," but it never arrived. Schraier is a pathological liar who failed me and my child. Instead of taking responsibility, his response to my review was: "Paul, considering that it's been 3.5 years since your case and my legal representation ended, it's clear that something recent has caused you a lot of emotion and grief, and I hope that you get whatever help you can to get you through this." This fake concern is nothing more than an attempt to deflect from the fact that he walked out on a paid contract and failed his client. Instead of addressing his professional failures, he tried to dismiss my experience as personal grief. His response is insulting and a blatant attempt to shift blame. I urge anyone considering him to investigate thoroughly before hiring. ________________________________________ DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE HIRING ANY LAWYER: Call at least three past clients for references. Compare him with other attorneys before making a costly mistake. Read unbiased reviews from multiple sources, not just the ones he promotes. ________________________________________ SUMMARY OF HIS FAILURES: 1. ABANDONED A PAID CONTRACT & LIED ABOUT IT * Ignored 20+ emails about the support agreement. * Lied repeatedly, saying it was coming "next week." * Eventually stopped responding entirely, forcing me to pay for costly legal fixes. * The opposing lawyer had already agreed to lower support, yet Schraier failed to act. Result: Financial devastation and emotional strain. 2. POOR NEGOTIATOR - AVOIDED WORK * He was outmaneuvered by opposing counsel and failed to secure a fair agreement. * He negotiated directly from the opposing lawyer's draft and only made changes when I explicitly told him to. * His delays and weak strategy made my situation worse. Result: A bad agreement that harmed me and my child. 3. CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH OPPOSING LAWYER * I asked if he had a conflict of interest with opposing counsel since he had upcoming cases with her. * He denied any conflict, but his weak negotiation and failure to advocate for me raised major concerns. Result: My case may not have been his priority. 4. DISHONEST BILLING PRACTICES * He bid very low to win the case but then failed to do the necessary work. 5. UNPROFESSIONAL, UNRESPONSIVE & UNPREPARED FOR COURT * Ignored key legal deadlines and responded slowly to urgent issues. * Waited until the last minute to prepare me for court. * Was frequently late to hearings, leaving me unprepared. * Opposing counsel had to remind him to complete his own promised work! Result: Weak legal representation, stress, and costly delays. 6. PRESSURED ME TO ACCEPT A BAD AGREEMENT * He knew it was a terrible deal but pressured me to sign anyway. * Ignored critical evidence that would have helped my case. * The opposing attorney rushed in a last-minute draft before court, and Schraier didn't object. Result: A custody and support agreement that left me and my child worse off. 7. NEGLIGENCE & FAILURE TO ACT ON EVIDENCE * My ex violated most of the prior agreement, and Schraier failed to act. * He did not address compliance issues or seek court protections for my child. * He dismissed parental alienation as a past issue that couldn't be helped. Result: My child was harmed, and the violations continued unchecked. ________________________________________ FINAL WARNING: AVOID THIS LAWYER AT ALL COSTS Finally - a note on these rating sites. They are not honest. There are a few things that happen: 1 - There are companies that go to lawyers and promise to get good reviews on these sites. Schraier especially uses this method of getting business. 2 - Basically - an easy case - you think he did well and they get a good review out of the client. Difficult case or one that Schraier abandons like mine - and you get screwed but it is overwhelmed by the "good" reviews. 3 - Avvo in particular is a referral site for lawyers - DO YOU THINK THEY ARE HONEST? You know the answer. Cheaters like Schraier depend on that. You lose - your money, your child, and regret it for a lifetime.
